FLIR CB-6408-11-I FLIR Quasar Ultra HD IP Bullet Camera (3.6-10mm)
When you need forensic-grade 4K imaging across wide-to-medium focal ranges without deploying multiple fixed-lens units, FLIR's Quasar Ultra HD bullet solves the coverage gap. The motorized 3.6-10mm varifocal lens lets you dial in precise field of view during commissioning, while 8-megapixel resolution delivers the pixel density required for facial recognition and license plate capture at distances where 1080p falls short. Built for commercial perimeter surveillance, parking structures, and high-security zones where identification detail determines investigative outcomes.
Key Features
- Ultra HD 8MP (4K) resolution provides four times the pixel density of 1080p for positive subject identification
- Motorized 3.6-10mm varifocal lens enables precise FOV adjustment without ladder work post-installation
- IP bullet form factor optimized for outdoor wall and soffit mounting in exposed environments
- Wide dynamic range imaging handles high-contrast scenes with backlight and direct sun exposure
- IR illumination extends effective surveillance range into complete darkness
- Weatherproof housing rated for temperature extremes and moisture ingress common to commercial exteriors
- H.265 video compression reduces bandwidth and storage requirements compared to H.264 at equivalent image quality
- ONVIF Profile S/G compliance ensures integration with third-party VMS and NVR platforms
The 2.8x optical zoom range addresses the most common deployment scenarios installers face: parking lot overviews at wide angle, building entrance monitoring at mid-range, and perimeter fence lines at telephoto. Remote focus and zoom adjustment during setup eliminates the trial-and-error of fixed focal lengths while maintaining optical clarity across the zoom range. The camera's 4K sensor captures plate numbers and facial features that 1080p cameras render as indistinct blur, critical when footage moves from monitoring to evidence.
FLIR's image processing handles the lighting extremes typical of commercial properties—headlight glare in parking structures, storefront backlight during daytime, sodium vapor light color shift at night. The bullet housing mounts directly to junction boxes or wall surfaces with included hardware, and the varifocal lens means you're not locked into a single FOV decision at purchase time. For integrators managing mixed-resolution systems, this camera slots into 4K upgrade projects without requiring infrastructure overhaul, working within existing IP networks and PoE switch capacity.
